Brass, William Rawle disagrees with you about the Second Amendment. He's the guy Washington wanted to be his AG, and his "View of the Constitution" was standard text at Harvard until 1845 and Dartmouth until 1860. He specifically wrote:

“No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give the Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under a general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any pursuit of an inordinate power either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.”
